8. Confidentiality 

If you receive Confidential Information from TTD or its Affiliates, you must use the same care to protect the Confidential Information as you use for your own similar information, but in no event less than reasonable care, and must use Confidential Information only for the purpose of exercising your rights and fulfilling your obligations under these Platform Terms.

11.3 Costs. You are solely responsible for all costs and expenses you incur in connection with the Ventura Products. 

11.4 No Waiver. A party’s failure or delay to exercise any right under these Platform Terms will not operate as a waiver, nor will any single or partial exercise of such right preclude any other exercise or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.

Neither you nor TTD is liable for failure or delay in performing its obligations under these Platform Terms due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, terrorism, war, riots, fire, earthquake, flood, pandemic, or degradation or failure of third-party networks or communications infrastructure. 

11.6 Entire Agreement. These Platform Terms, which, for clarity, includes any applicable Supplemental Materials, are the entire agreement between TTD and you relating to its subject and supersede all other commitments, negotiations, agreements, and understandings relating to that subject matter. No additional terms that you include in an order form, insertion order, or similar document will be of any force and effect unless TTD expressly agrees in writing signed by authorized representatives of each party to have those terms supersede these Platform Terms.

If you do not agree to the amended Platform Terms, you must immediately stop using the Ventura Products. 

11.9 Interpretation. If there is a conflict or inconsistency between these Platform Terms and any applicable Supplemental Materials, the order of priority will be: the applicable Supplemental Materials (with respect to the Ventura Products described therein) followed by these Platform Terms. References to a Section include all its subsections. The Section headings are for convenience only and will not affect how these Platform Terms are construed. Unless these Platform Terms refer specifically to “business days,” all references to “days” mean calendar days. The words “include,” “includes,” and “including” mean “including without limitation.” If any provision of these Platform Terms is unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from these Platform Terms and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not be affected.

11.11 Publicity. Neither you nor TTD will make any public statement relating to the relationship between the parties or your agreement to these Platform Terms without the prior written approval of the other party, except that TTD may include your name and logo in TTD’s marketing and promotional materials and your name in TTD’s customer lists.

All provisions of these Platform Terms that expressly or by their nature should survive termination or expiration of these Platform Terms, including those relating to confidentiality, intellectual property, indemnification, and limitation of liability, will survive termination of these Platform Terms.
