3. DEFINITIONS

3.1. Defined Terms.

In addition to certain terms defined throughout this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise, the following capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the following meanings:

4. THE CLEMENTINE BRIDGE SERVICE

4.1. Purpose of the Clementine Bridge.

The Clementine Bridge allows eligible Users to lock BTC on the Bitcoin network and obtain an equivalent amount of cBTC on the Citrea Network. Under normal operating conditions, cBTC is intended to be created when BTC is locked via the Clementine Bridge and to be redeemable by burning cBTC and unlocking a corresponding amount of BTC, subject to all operational, technical, and legal limitations described in this Agreement. Peg-in and peg-out transactions are executed through the BitVM2 verification architecture described in the Clementine Whitepaper (see here). The Bridge does not rely on discretionary or custodial decision-making by Citrea; rather, the Bitcoin and Citrea smart contracts coordinate using fraud proofs, challenge windows, and verification games that may delay, reject, or roll back attempted transactions. BTC locked during a peg-in remains controlled exclusively by the Bitcoin contract logic, not by Citrea or any Bridge Operator. Citrea never has unilateral control or possession of User assets on either chain. Each Clementine transaction involves a minimum size (currently 10 BTC) and may exceed USD $1,000,000 in value.

4.2. Bridge Stakeholder Roles.

The Clementine Bridge operates through a decentralized, multi-role framework (the "Bridge Stakeholder"), which collectively facilitate the verification and execution of peg-in and peg-out operations. These roles include:

4.2.1. Signers: Entities required to approve peg-in and peg-out transactions in accordance with predefined signing thresholds. Signers are responsible solely for validating that transaction conditions have been met.

4.2.2. Operators: Entities responsible for coordinating and submitting the necessary transaction data to the Bitcoin network and the Citrea Network. Operators do not custody User assets and have no discretion to alter transaction instructions.

4.2.3. Watchtowers and Challengers: Entities that monitor Bridge operations for fraud, errors, or invalid activity and may submit proofs or challenges under the Bridge's security model.

4.2.4. Security Council: An independent group that manages and mitigates critical security risks, vulnerabilities, and exploits (collectively "Emergencies") affecting the Clementine Bridge.

4.2.5. Emergency Mechanisms: During Clementine Bridge Emergencies, designated response procedures may allow the Security Council to halt, delay, or cancel peg-in or peg-out activity, or to place affected assets into a fail-safe recovery process. These procedures operate automatically or according to predefined rules and may result in delayed redemption or permanent loss of access to assets.

4.3. Use of the Clementine Bridge.

The Foundation grants you a non-exclusive license to access and use the Clementine Bridge Service including the Clementine Bridge and the data, material, content, or information herein (collectively, the "Content") solely for your personal use. Your right to access and use the Clementine Bridge shall be limited to the purposes described in these Terms unless you are otherwise expressly authorized in writing by the Foundation to use the Clementine Bridge for your own commercial purposes. You agree to use the Clementine Bridge only for lawful purposes, comply with all rules governing any transactions on, through, or in connection to the Clementine Bridge and comply with applicable laws.

4.4. Conditions of Use.

4.4.1. User Representations and Warranties.

As a condition to accessing or using the Clementine Bridge Services, you represent and warrant to the Foundation the following:

• If you are entering into these Terms as an individual, then you have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms and be bound by them. You are at least 18 years of age.
• If you are entering these Terms as an entity, then you must have the legal authority to accept these Terms on that entity's behalf, in which case "you" (except as used in this paragraph) will mean that entity.
• You are not a resident, citizen or agent of, are not incorporated in, and do not have a registered office in Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Libya, Lebanon, Central African Republic, Sudan, Syria, Somalia, Venezuela, Yemen, Russia, Myanmar (Burma), the regions of Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk, or any other country or region that is the subject of comprehensive country-wide or region-wide economic sanctions by the United States or the Cayman Islands (collectively, "Restricted Territories").
• You are not the subject of economic or trade sanctions administered or enforced by any governmental authority or otherwise designated on any list of prohibited or restricted parties (including the list maintained by the Office of Foreign Asset Controls of the U.S. Department of the Treasury) (collectively, "Sanctioned Person").
• You do not intend to transact with any Restricted Person or Sanctioned Person.
• You are not yourself, and are not acting on behalf of any person who is, a U.S. person.
• You do not, and will not, use a VPN or any other privacy or anonymization tools or techniques to circumvent, or attempt to circumvent, any restrictions that apply to the Clementine Bridge Services.
• You consent to blockchain-analysis screening of BTC and cBTC addresses, and understand that chain-analytics third parties may be used. You agree that Citrea (or where applicable, a third-party) may refuse, suspend, freeze, or reverse (to the extent technically feasible) any operation associated with sanctions, unlawful activity, or violation of this Agreement.
• You acknowledge that each transaction may involve significant monetary value, may be irreversible, and may expose you to substantial financial risk.
• Your access to the Clementine Bridge Services (a) is not prohibited by and does not otherwise violate or assist you to violate any domestic or foreign law, rule, statute, regulation, by-law, order, protocol, code, decree, or another directive, requirement, or guideline, published or in force that applies to or is otherwise intended to govern or regulate any person, property, transaction, activity, event or other matter, including any rule, order, judgment, directive or other requirement or guideline issued by any domestic or foreign federal, provincial or state, municipal, local or other governmental, regulatory, judicial or administrative authority having jurisdiction over the Foundation, you, the Clementine Bridge or the Clementine Bridge Services, or as otherwise duly enacted, enforceable by law, the common law or equity; and (b) does not contribute to or facilitate any illegal activity.

4.4.2. User Covenants.

As a condition to accessing or using the Clementine Bridge Service, you acknowledge, understand, and agree to the following:

• From time to time, the Clementine Bridge Service may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including: (a) equipment malfunctions; (b) periodic maintenance procedures or repairs that the Foundation or any of our suppliers or contractors may undertake from time to time; (c) causes beyond the Foundation's control or that the Foundation could not reasonably foresee; (d) disruptions and temporary or permanent unavailability of underlying blockchain infrastructure; or (e) unavailability of third-party service providers or external partners for any reason.
• The Foundation reserves the right to disable or modify access to the Clementine Bridge Services (such as restricting features of the Clementine Bridge Services) at any time in the event of any breach of these Terms, including, if the Foundation reasonably believes any of your representations and warranties may be untrue or inaccurate, and the Foundation will not be liable to you for any losses or damages you may suffer as a result of or in connection with the Clementine Bridge Services being inaccessible to you at any time or for any reason.
• You acknowledge and agree that, in entering into and using the Clementine Bridge Services, you are not relying upon, and shall have no remedy in respect of, any statement, representation, warranty, assurance, forecast, or other communication of any kind (whether written or oral, express or implied) made by Citrea, any of its Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, employees, contractors, developers, or agents, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you acknowledge that no documentation, technical description, blog post, social-media communication, public statement, code comment, whitepaper, roadmap, or other material made available by or on behalf of Citrea shall constitute, or be relied upon as, a representation or warranty of any kind regarding the functionality, security, performance, economics, or future development of the Clementine Bridge, the Bridge Contracts, the Citrea Network, or any Digital Asset. You further acknowledge that no statement or omission outside this Agreement has been material to your decision to use the Clementine Bridge Services, and you irrevocably disclaim any right to rely on any such materials.
• We may from time to time in the future offer additional products, and such additional products shall be considered as Clementine Bridge Services, regardless of whether such product is specifically defined in this Agreement.
• The Clementine Bridge Services may evolve, which means the Foundation may apply changes, replace, or discontinue (temporarily or permanently) the Clementine Bridge Services at any time in our sole discretion.
• Any data provided on the Clementine Bridge does not represent (i) an offer, a solicitation of an offer, or recommendation to enter into, a transaction with the Foundation (other than the payment of fees to the Foundation) or (ii) any advice regarding a transaction entered into using the Clementine Bridge Service.
• You are solely responsible for your use of the Clementine Bridge Service, including all of your transfers of Digital Assets and any profits or losses you incur in connection with the Clementine Bridge Service.
• If you misroute deposits or provide incorrect wallet information, cBTC may be captured in an automated fail-safe mechanism. Recovery of misrouted deposits is not guaranteed, and Citrea has no obligation to retrieve or return any assets captured in such mechanism.
• To the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, the Foundation owes no fiduciary duties or liabilities to you or any other party, and to the extent any such duties or liabilities may exist at law or in equity, you hereby irrevocably disclaim, waive, and eliminate those duties and liabilities.
• You are solely responsible for reporting and paying any taxes applicable to your use of the Clementine Bridge Services.
• The Foundation has no control over, or liability for, the delivery, quality, safety, legality, or any other aspect of any Digital Assets that you may transfer to or from a third party, and the Foundation is not responsible for ensuring that an entity with whom you transact completes the transaction or is authorized to do so, and if you experience a problem with any transactions in Digital Assets using the Clementine Bridge Services, then you bear the entire risk.
• Bridge Operators are independent actors, may not be controlled by Citrea, and may experience delays, outages, or failures. The operation of these roles is essential to the functioning of the Clementine Bridge and may affect the timing, completion, or availability of peg-in and peg-out operations.
• Digital assets moved through the Clementine Bridge, including cBTC, are created natively on the Citrea Network pursuant to Bridge Contracts. cBTC is technically and economically distinct from BTC on the Bitcoin network. The Foundation does not guarantee the performance, security, or availability of any bridging mechanism, or network involved in completing your transaction.
• The Clementine Bridge interacts with a coordination layer called Bridge Hub, which aggregates messages and proof data between Bitcoin and Citrea. Bridge Hub is not controlled by Citrea, and Citrea has no ability to override or accelerate Bridge Hub processing, verification, or dispute resolution. Bridge Hub is subject to its own <bridgeHubTermsLink>Terms of Service</bridgeHubTermsLink>.
• To access the Clementine Bridge, you must use a wallet software, which allows you to interact with public blockchains. Your relationship with that wallet provider is governed by the applicable terms of service of such third party. We do not have custody or control over the contents of your wallet and have no ability to retrieve or transfer its contents. By connecting your wallet to the Clementine Bridge, you agree to be bound by this Agreement and all of the terms incorporated herein by reference.
• We do not guarantee that you will be able to redeem cBTC for BTC in any particular amount, at any particular time, or at all. Redemption depends on the correct functioning of blockchain networks, Bridge Contracts, Bridge Operators, cryptographic systems, and compliance with legal restrictions, including sanctions. Peg-outs are paid out immediately by Bridge Operator, but only completed after (i) submission of the required BitVM2 proof by a Bridge Operator, and (ii) lapse of the applicable challenge window, during which Watchtowers or Challengers may dispute an invalid state transition. Redemption may therefore be delayed for the full duration of such window or indefinitely if a dispute is raised. If a proof is deemed invalid or not finalized, the corresponding peg-out will not occur.

4.4.3. Prohibited Uses.

By using the Clementine Bridge Service, you agree that you will not:

• Use the Clementine Bridge Services in any manner that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Clementine Bridge, or interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect, or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Clementine Bridge Services, or that could damage, disable, overburden, or impair the functioning of the Clementine Bridge Service in any manner;
• Attempt to gain unauthorized access to any Clementine Bridge account, Wallet, or computer systems or networks associated with the Foundation or the Clementine Bridge.

• Impersonate or attempt to impersonate the Foundation, a Foundation employee, an Affiliate of the Foundation, or another User or any other person or entity (including, without limitation, by using email addresses associated with any of the foregoing).
• License, sell, rent, lease, transfer, assign, distribute, host, or otherwise commercially exploit the Clementine Bridge Service, whether in whole or in part, or any content displayed on or provided by the Clementine Bridge Service.
• Modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, reverse compile or reverse engineer any part of the Clementine Bridge Service.
• Misrepresent, with omission or otherwise, the truthfulness, sourcing or reliability of any content on the Clementine Bridge.

In connection with your use of the Clementine Bridge Service, unless expressly stated otherwise pursuant to a promotion operated by the Foundation, you are required to pay all fees necessary for interacting with the Clementine Bridge Service and the blockchain network. All transactions made in connection with the Clementine Bridge Service are facilitated by smart contracts existing on a blockchain network. Blockchain networks generally require the payment of a transaction fee for every transaction.

4.5.4. No Professional Advice or Fiduciary Duties.

All information provided in connection with your access and use of the Clementine Bridge and the Clementine Bridge Services is for informational purposes only and should not be construed as professional advice.

9. ASSUMPTION OF RISK

9.1. User Acknowledges the Risk of Cryptocurrency and Smart Contracts.

YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND AND ARE WILLING TO ACCEPT THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH CRYPTOGRAPHIC SYSTEMS SUCH AS SMART CONTRACTS, AND PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN NETWORKS.

9.2. The Foundation is Not Responsible for Technical Errors on Any Blockchain.

Foundation IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF A BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK FOUNDATION MAY INTERFACE WITH, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LATE REPORT BY DEVELOPERS OR REPRESENTATIVES (OR NO REPORT AT ALL) OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK FOUNDATION MAY INTERFACE WITH, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES HAVING FUND LOSSES AS A RESULT.

9.3. The User Acknowledges the Risks of the Clementine Bridge Service.

You acknowledge that the Clementine Bridge Service is subject to flaws and acknowledge that you are solely responsible for evaluating any information provided by the Clementine Bridge Service. This warning and others provided in this Agreement by the Foundation in no way evidence or represent an ongoing duty to alert you to all of the potential risks of utilizing or accessing the Clementine Bridge Service. The Clementine Bridge Service may experience sophisticated cyber-attacks, unexpected surges in activity or other operational or technical difficulties that may cause interruptions to or delays on the Clementine Bridge Service. You agree to accept the risk of the Clementine Bridge Service failure resulting from unanticipated or heightened technical difficulties, including those resulting from sophisticated attacks, and you agree not to hold the Foundation accountable for any related losses. The Foundation will not bear any liability, whatsoever, for any damage or interruptions caused by any viruses that may affect your computer or other equipment, or any phishing, spoofing or other attack.

9.4. The Foundation Does Not Make Any Representations Regarding the Accuracy of the Clementine Bridge Service, the Value of Cryptocurrency, or Other Digital Assets.

The Clementine Bridge Service is a novel product and the accuracy of the information contained on the Clementine Bridge Service is not guaranteed. The prices of blockchain assets are extremely volatile. Fluctuations in the price of other Digital Assets could materially and adversely affect the value of cryptocurrency, which may also be subject to significant price volatility. A lack of use or public interest in the creation and development of distributed ecosystems could negatively impact the development, potential utility, or value of cryptocurrency. The Clementine Bridge Service, and other Digital Assets could be impacted by one or more regulatory inquiries or regulatory action. For all of the foregoing reasons, as well as for reasons that may not presently be known to the Foundation, the Foundation makes absolutely no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy of the Clementine Bridge Service, the value of cryptocurrency, or other Digital Assets.

9.5. User Acknowledges Financial Risk of Digital Assets.

The risk of loss in trading Digital Assets can be substantial. You should, therefore, carefully consider whether such creating, buying or selling Digital Assets is suitable for you in light of your circumstances and financial resources. By using the Clementine Bridge Service, you represent that you have been, are and will be solely responsible for making your own independent appraisal. Under no circumstances shall the Foundation be liable in connection with your use of the Clementine Bridge Service or your performance of any Digital Asset transactions. Under no circumstances will the operation of all or any portion of the Clementine Bridge Service be deemed to create a relationship that includes the provision or tendering of investment advice. User acknowledges and agrees that the Foundation is not a party to any agreement or transaction between one or more Users and/or third parties involving the purchase, sale, charge, or transfer of cryptocurrency.

9.6. Bridging.

In addition to being an especially novel and untested implementation of blockchain technology in general, cross-blockchain bridging technology has historically been, and may in the future be, the subject of numerous cyberattacks and exploits, including without limitation, hacks that exploit a vulnerability in the associated software, hardware, systems or other equipment or social engineering to gain control of the any bridge components, wallets, smart contracts or other related systems.

9.7. High-Value Transactions.

You acknowledge that Clementine Bridge transactions may exceed USD $1,000,000 in value and that loss of access to such assets may be permanent.

9.8. Violations by Other Users.

User irrevocably releases, acquits, and forever discharges the Foundation and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and successors for and against any and all past or future causes of action, suits, or controversies arising out of another user's violation of this Agreement.

The Foundation may suspend or terminate your rights to use the Clementine Bridge Service at any time for any reason at our sole discretion, including for any use of the Clementine Bridge Service in violation of this Agreement.

12. GENERAL TERMS

12.1. Changes to these Terms of Use.

The Foundation may update or change these Terms from time to time in order to reflect changes in any offered services, changes in the law, or for other reasons as deemed necessary by the Foundation. The effective date of any Terms will be reflected in the "Last Revised" entry at the top of these Terms. Your continued use of the Clementine Bridge after any such change is communicated shall constitute your consent to such change(s).

12.2. Waiver.

The waiver by the Foundation of a breach of any provision contained herein shall be in writing and shall in no way be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision or the waiver of the provision itself.

12.3. Governing Law & Jurisdiction.

The interpretation and enforcement of these Terms, and any Dispute related to these Terms or the Clementine Bridge Services, will be governed by and construed and enforced under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as applicable, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. You agree that Citrea may initiate a proceeding related to the enforcement or validity of our intellectual property rights in any court having jurisdiction. For any other proceeding that is not subject to arbitration under these Terms, the courts located in the Cayman Islands will have exclusive jurisdiction. You waive any objection to venue in any such courts.

12.4. Dispute Resolution.

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT IN THIS SECTION ("ARBITRATION AGREEMENT") CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH THE FOUNDATION AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. IT IS PART OF YOUR CONTRACT WITH THE FOUNDATION AND AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES OF MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER.

12.4.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.

All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Agreement or the use of any product or service provided by the Foundation that cannot be resolved informally shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis under the terms of this Arbitration Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to, all arbitration proceedings shall be held in English. This Arbitration Agreement applies to you and the Foundation, and to any subsidiaries, Affiliates, agents, employees, predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns, as well as all authorized or unauthorized users or beneficiaries of services or goods provided under the Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all disputes or claims and requests for relief that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

12.4.2. Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.

Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute ("Notice") describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief. A Notice to the Foundation should be sent to both the physical address and Email listed below:

Citrea Foundation Attn: Legal Department Highvern Cayman Limited PO Box 448, Elgin Court, Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1106, Cayman Islands Email: legal@citrea.xyz

12.4.3. After the Notice is received, you and the Foundation may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and the Foundation do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding. The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

12.4.4. Arbitration Procedure.

Any dispute, claim, interpretation, controversy, or issues of public policy arising out of or relating to the Clementine Bridge, these Terms, or the Clementine Bridge Services, or the breach of this Agreement, shall be determined by arbitration administered by the Cayman International Mediation and Arbitration Centre (CI-MAC) and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Claims shall be heard by a single arbitrator. The place of arbitration shall be the Cayman Islands except in the case that the parties agree by mutual consent to host the arbitration outside of the Cayman Islands, in which case the seat of arbitration may be chosen by mutual agreement. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands. The arbitrators will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual damages, except as may be required by statute. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The arbitrator may grant injunctive relief, including temporary, preliminary, permanent, and mandatory injunctive relief, in order to protect the rights of each party, but will not be limited to such relief. This provision for arbitration will not preclude a Party from seeking temporary or preliminary injunctive relief ("Provisional Relief") in a court of Law while arbitration Proceedings are pending in order to protect its rights pending a final determination by the arbitrator, nor will the filing of such an action for Provisional Relief constitute waiver by a Party of its right to seek arbitration. Any Provisional Relief granted by such court will remain effective until otherwise modified by the arbitrator.

12.4.5. Waiver of Jury Trial.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and the Foundation in any court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND THE FOUNDATION WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge.

12.4.6. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.

ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.

12.4.7. 30-Day Right to Opt-Out.

You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Wallet address, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with the Foundation. Mail your written notification by certified mail to:

Citrea Foundation Attn: Legal Department Highvern Cayman Limited PO Box 448, Elgin Court, Elgin Avenue, George Town, Grand Cayman, KY1-1106, Cayman Islands Email: legal@citrea.xyz

12.4.8. Confidentiality.

All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, shall be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph shall not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Agreement, to enforce an arbitration award, or to seek injunctive or equitable relief.

12.4.9. Severability.

If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

12.4.10. Right to Waive.

Any or all of the rights and limitations set forth in this Arbitration Agreement may be waived by the party against whom the claim is asserted. Such waiver shall not waive or affect any other portion of this Arbitration Agreement.

12.4.11. Survival of Agreement.

This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with the Foundation.

12.4.12. Emergency Equitable Relief.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before a state or federal court in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.

12.4.13. Claims Not Subject to Arbitration.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims arising from violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, infringement or misappropriation of the other party's patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secrets shall not be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

12.5. Attorneys' Fees and Costs.

Pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules, the arbitrators will have the authority to allocate the costs of the arbitration process among the parties but will only have the authority to allocate attorneys' fees if a particular law permits them to do so.

12.6. Third Party Beneficiaries.

Except as limited by Section 12.7, this Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the parties and their successors and permitted assigns, any of the rights hereunder.

12.7. Entire Agreement.

This Agreement and each of its exhibits or appendices, constitute and contain the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written agreements. Each party acknowledges and agrees that the other has not made any representations, warranties, or agreements of any kind, except as expressly set forth herein.

12.8. Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement (or any portion thereof) is determined to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall be binding upon the parties and shall be enforceable, as though said invalid or unenforceable provision (or portion thereof) were not contained in this Agreement.

12.9. Assignment.

You may not assign or transfer any rights hereunder without the prior written consent of the Foundation. Except as provided in this section, any attempts you make to assign any of your rights or delegate any of your duties hereunder without the prior written consent of the Foundation shall be null and void. The Foundation may assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder without consent.

12.10. Interpretation.

References to Sections and Appendices are to be construed as references to the Sections of, and Appendices to, this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated. The singular includes the plural, and the plural includes the singular. All references to hereof, herein, hereunder and other similar compounds of the word here shall mean and refer to this Agreement as a whole rather than any particular part of the same. The terms include and including are not limiting. Unless designated as Business Days, all references to days shall mean calendar days. The use of the word "including" in this Agreement to refer to specific examples will be construed to mean "including, without limitation" or "including but not limited to" and will not be construed to mean that the examples given are an exclusive list of the topics covered.
