Disclaimer of Publisher’s Warranties

9.1. THE INARA SERVICES AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) AND OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE INARA SERVICES ARE PROVIDED BY INARA ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. Inara MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE OPERATION OF THE INARA SERVICES, OR THE INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE INARA SERVICES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE INARA SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK.

TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY APPLICABLE LAW, INARA DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Inara DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE INARA SERVICES, INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH THE INARA SERVICES, Inara'S SERVERS OR ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SENT FROM INARA ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. INARA WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM THE USE OF ANY INARA SERVICE, OR FROM ANY INFORMATION, CONTENT, MATERIALS, PRODUCTS (INCLUDING SOFTWARE) OR OTHER SERVICES INCLUDED ON OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU THROUGH ANY INARA SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED IN WRITING.

CERTAIN STATE LAWS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF THESE LAWS APPLY TO YOU, SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MIGHT HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS.

9.2. Events Voiding Warranty.

Inara does not warrant the:

(a) defects caused by failure to provide a suitable installation environment for the Product,

(b) damage caused by disasters such as acts of God, wars, riots, strikes, terrorism, governmental restrictions, fire, flood, wind, and lightening,

(d) abuse or misuse by End-Users. Any breach of the End-User License Agreement by or on behalf of an End-User, including, without limitation, unauthorized modification or distribution of the Product or any portion thereof, will void any and all warranties.

9.3. DRM, Piracy and the "Trust" System. Inara is a strong proponent of author's rights, and the right of authors and copyright owners to receive compensation for their digitally published Works. Therefore, Inara strongly discourages piracy/infringement of Author Work. There is a growing body of evidence indicating that DRMed Works do not sell as well as non-DRMed Works because customers resent limitations and don't appreciate being mistrusted, Inara overcomes both problems by allowing End Users unlimited access to Authors Work without providing them a pirate-able media like an eBook / ePub / Mobi file. Non-DRMed Works often outsell DRMed Works by leveraging the viral nature of uninhibited sampling and sharing which can dramatically increase your total audience and sales opportunities. You understand that Inara is distributing the Works according to this so described Trust system.

Limitation of liability

10.1. Inara's total liability arising out of or in connection with the Services or these Terms, however arising, including under contract, tort (including negligence), in equity, under statute or otherwise, will not exceed the resupply of the Services to you.

10.2. You expressly understand and agree that Inara, its employees shall not be liable to you for any direct, indirect, incidental, special consequential or exemplary damages which may be incurred by you, however caused and under any theory of liability.

11.3. Inara may at any time, terminate the Terms with you if:

(a) you have breached any provision of the Terms or intend to breach any provision;

(b) Inara is required to do so by law;

11.4.

Publisher, and not Inara, shall be responsible for and timely pay any fees or consideration of any kind owed to any authors, illustrators, or other rights holders or contributors (if any) arising from use of Works on Inara.
5.4.2 When We Pay You. Each Inara party will pay Micro-royalties due on Digital Book transactions no later than 72 hours after each day during which Microtransactions were made. We will make available to you a report in your Dropp digital wallet detailing these Micro-royalties payments.
5.4.3 Payment Currencies. Payment will be made in U.S. Dollars (USD) or HBAR cryptocurrency, depending on the User’s choice of payment. Inara reserves the right to add choices of other currencies for User payments. If, at our choosing, we establish payment in other currencies, and you change your payment currency, the change will be effective on the first day of the following calendar month (unless we make an earlier period available). If we pay you in a Fiat currency other than the Microtransaction Currency, we will convert the Micro-royalties due from the Microtransaction Currency to the payment currency at an exchange rate we determine, which will be inclusive of all fees and charges for the conversion.
5.4.5 Payment Policies. We may require you to provide certain information or to register a valid bank account in your Inara account in order to receive Micro-royalty payments, in which case we will not be obligated to make Micro-royalty payments to you unless you do so. We may establish other payment policies from time to time, such as minimum payment amounts for different payment methods and check fees.
5.4.6 Payment Disputes. You may not bring a suit or other legal proceeding against us with regard to any statement unless you bring it within six months after the date the statement is available. Any such proceeding will be limited to a determination of the amount of monies, if any, payable by us to you for the accounting periods in question, and your sole remedy will be the recovery of those monies with no interest.
5.4.7 Offsets, etc. We can withhold Micro-royalties and offset them against future payments as indicated below. Our exercise of these rights does not limit other rights we may have to withhold or offset Micro-royalties or exercise other remedies.

• If we pay you a Micro-royalty on a transaction and later issue a refund, return, or credit for that transaction, we may offset the amount of the Micro-royalty previously paid for the transaction against future Micro-royalties, or require you to remit that amount to us. • If a third party asserts that you did not have all rights required to make one of your Digital Books available through the Program, we may hold all Micro-royalties due to you until we reasonably determine the validity of the third party claim. If we determine that you did not have all of those rights or that you have otherwise breached your representations and warranties or our Content Policy with regard to a Digital Book, we will not owe you Micro-royalties for that Digital Book and we may offset any of those Micro-royalties that were previously paid against future Micro-royalties, or require you to remit them to us. • Upon termination of this Agreement, we may withhold all Micro-royalties due for a period of three months from the date they would otherwise be payable in order to ensure our ability to off-set any refunds or other offsets we are entitled to take against the Micro-royalties. • If we terminate this Agreement because you have breached your representations and warranties or our Content Policy, you forfeit all Micro-royalties not yet paid to you. If after we have terminated your account you open a new account without our express permission, we will not owe you any Micro-royalties through the new account.

5.4.8 Taxes. The Inara parties (or their affiliates) are responsible for collecting and remitting any and all taxes imposed on their respective transactions of Digital Books to customers. You are responsible for any income or other taxes due and payable resulting from payments to you by an Inara party under this Agreement. Accordingly, unless otherwise stated, the amounts due to you hereunder are inclusive of any taxes that may apply to such payments. The Inara parties maintain the right, however, to deduct or withhold any and all applicable taxes from amounts due by them to you, and the amounts due, as reduced by those deductions or withholdings, will constitute full payment and settlement to you.
5.5 Grant of Rights. You grant to each Inara party, throughout the term of this Agreement, a nonexclusive, irrevocable, right and license to distribute Digital Books, directly and through third-party distributors, in all digital formats by all digital distribution means available. This right includes, without limitation, the right to: (a) reproduce, index and store Digital Books on one or more computer facilities, and reformat, convert and encode Digital Books; (b) display, market, transmit, distribute, sell and otherwise digitally make available all or any portion of Digital Books through Inara Properties (as defined below), for customers and prospective customers to download, access, copy and paste, print, annotate and/or view online and offline, including on portable devices; (c) permit customers to "store" Digital Books that they have purchased from us on servers ("Virtual Storage") and to access and re-download such Digital Books from Virtual Storage from time to time both during and after the term of this Agreement; (d) display and distribute (i) your trademarks and logos in the form you provide them to us or within Digital Books (with such modifications as are necessary to optimize their viewing), and (ii) portions of Digital Books, in each case solely for the purposes of marketing, soliciting and selling Digital Books and related Inara offerings; (e) use, reproduce, adapt, modify, and distribute, as we determine appropriate, in our sole discretion, any metadata that you provide in connection with Digital Books; and (f) transmit, reproduce and otherwise use (or cause the reformatting, transmission, reproduction, and/or other use of) Digital Books as mere technological incidents to and for the limited purpose of technically enabling the foregoing (e.g., caching to enable display). In addition, you agree that we may permit our affiliates and independent contractors, and our affiliates' independent contractors, to exercise the rights that you grant to us in this Agreement. "Inara Properties" means any web site, application or online point of presence, on any platform, that is owned or operated by or under license by Inara or co-branded with Inara, and any web site, application, device or online point of presence through which any Inara Properties or products available for transaction on them are syndicated, offered, merchandised, advertised or described. You grant us the rights set forth in this Section 5.5 on a worldwide basis; however, if we make available to you a procedure for indicating that you do not have worldwide distribution rights to a Digital Book, then the territory for the transaction of that Digital Book will be those territories for which you indicate, through the procedure we provide to you, that you have distribution rights.
5.6 DRM and Geofiltering Technology. We may, but are not obligated, to provide you the option to apply DRM technology in connection with the distribution of your Digital Books. If we provide you the option to apply DRM technology, you acknowledge that we make no representations as to the efficacy of the DRM and will not be responsible for any failure of the DRM. We also may, but are not obligated, to use geofiltering technology as a way of determining which customers are entitled to purchase Digital Books, for example, where you indicate that you do not have worldwide distribution rights to a Digital Book through the procedure we provide to you for that purpose. If we use geofiltering technology when distributing your Digital Books, distribution will be deemed to have taken place within the permitted distribution territories for the Digital Books, even though customers may, in fact, be located outside those territories.
5.7 Rights Clearances and Rights Dispute Resolution. You will obtain and pay for any and all necessary clearances and licenses for the Digital Books to permit our exercise of the rights granted under this Agreement without any further payment obligation by us, including, without limitation, all Micro-royalties and other income due to any copyright owner. If you notify us through the procedure we provide on the applicable Inara Property for making claims of copyright infringement that a third party has made a Digital Book available for distribution through the Program (or for distribution in a particular territory through the Program) that you have the exclusive right to make available under the Program, then, upon your request and after verification of your claim, we will pay you the Micro-royalties due in connection with any transactions of the Digital Book through the Program, and will remove the Digital Book from future transaction through the Program, as your sole and exclusive remedy.
6 Ownership and Control of Inara Properties / Feedback. Subject to the authorizations you grant to us under this Agreement, as between us and you, you retain all ownership rights in and to the copyrights and all other rights and interest in and to your Digital Books. We retain all ownership rights in and to the copyrights and all other rights and interests in and to the Program, the Inara Properties, and any materials we use or provide to you for use relating to your Digital Book (such as a generic cover image used for your Digital Book if you do not provide one). We are solely responsible for, and will have full discretion with respect to the terms, features, and operation of the Program and the Inara Properties and related marketing, but our use of the Digital Books will be subject to the terms of this Agreement. In the event that you elect to provide suggestions, ideas, or other feedback to Inara or any of its affiliates in connection with the Inara Properties or the Program ("Feedback"), Inara and its affiliates will be free to use and exploit the same in any manner without restriction and without any need to compensate you. This Agreement does not grant you any license or other rights to any intellectual property or technology owned or operated by us or any of our affiliates, including, without limitation, any trademarks or trade names. Nothing in this Agreement restricts any rights we may have under applicable law or a separate permission.
7 Confidentiality. You will not, without our express, prior written permission: (a) issue any press release or make any other public disclosures regarding this Agreement or its terms; (b) disclose Inara Confidential Information (as defined below) to any third party or to any employee other than an employee who needs to know the information; or (c) use Inara Confidential Information for any purpose other than the performance of this Agreement. You may however disclose Inara Confidential Information as required to comply with applicable law, provided you: (i) give us prior written notice sufficient to allow us to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy; (ii) disclose only that Inara Confidential Information as is required by applicable law; and (iii) use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Inara Confidential Information so disclosed. "Inara Confidential Information" means (1) any information regarding Inara, its affiliates, and their businesses, including, without limitation, information relating to our technology, customers, business plans, promotional and marketing activities, finances and other business affairs, (2) the nature, content and existence of any communications between you and us, and (3) any transactions data relating to the transaction of Digital Books or other information we provide or make available to you in connection with the Program. Inara Confidential Information does not include information that (A) is or becomes publicly available without breach of this Agreement, (B) you can show by documentation to have been known to you at the time you receive it from us, (C) you receive from a third party who did not acquire or disclose such information by a wrongful or tortious act, or (D) you can show by documentation that you have independently developed without reference to any Inara Confidential Information. Without limiting the survivability of any other provision of this Agreement, this Section 7 will survive three years following the termination of this Agreement.
8 Representations, Indemnification and Limitation of Liability. You represent and warrant that: (a) you have the full right, power and authority to enter into and fully perform this Agreement and will comply with the terms of this Agreement; (b) prior to you or your designee's delivery of any content, you will have obtained all rights that are necessary for the exercise the rights granted under this Agreement; (c) neither the exercise of the rights authorized under this Agreement nor any materials embodied in the content nor its transaction or distribution as authorized in this Agreement will violate or infringe upon the intellectual property, proprietary or other rights of any person or entity, including, without limitation, contractual rights, copyrights, trademarks, common law rights, rights of publicity, or privacy, or moral rights, or contain defamatory material or violate any laws or regulations of any jurisdiction; (d) you will ensure that all Digital Books delivered under the Program comply with the technical delivery specifications provided by us; and (e) you will be solely responsible for accounting and paying any co-owners or co-administrators of any Digital Book or portion thereof any Micro-royalties with respect to the uses of the content and their respective shares, if any, of any monies payable under this Agreement.

(c) In the event that Inara receives any notice or claim from any end-user arising from a product liability issue for Publisher Content, Inara may refund the end-user the full amount of the price paid by the end-user. In the event that Inara refunds any such price to an end-user, Publisher shall reimburse, or grant Inara a credit for, an amount equal to the price for that eBook. Inara will nonetheless have the right to retain its earned commission on the eBook, notwithstanding the refund of the price to the end-user. (d) Inara will indemnify and hold harmless, and upon Publisher’s request, defend, Publisher and its affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of a claim by a third party by reason of a breach of any warranty, representation, covenant, or obligation of Inara under the Agreement; or any claim that the technology used by Inara in its appointment infringes the intellectual property rights of another party.

Publisher shall have the right, at its expense, to participate in the defense thereof under Inara’s direction. (e) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Publisher will indemnify and hold harmless, and upon Inara’s request, defend, Inara and its affiliates (and their respective directors, officers and employees) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs) arising out of a claim by a third party by reason of a breach of any warranty, representation, covenant, or obligation of Publisher under the Agreement; or any claim that Publisher Materials infringe the rights of another party.

Inara shall have the right, at its expense and with its chosen counsel, to participate in the defense of any such claim and/or, at its discretion, to settle any such claim at its expense.
