DAMAGES. MICROSOFT'S LIABILITY TO YOU FOR BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO MICROSOFT FOR ACCESS TO AND USE OF MSN. YOU HEREBY RELEASE MICROSOFT FROM ANY AND ALL OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES, AND CLAIMS IN EXCESS OF THIS LIMITATION. BECAUSE SOME STATES/JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF MSN, OR WITH ANY OF THESE TERMS OF USE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO NOT SIGN UP FOR AN MSN ACCOUNT OR TO TERMINATE YOUR MSN ACCOUNT.

8.Indemnification. You agree to indemnify and hold Microsoft, its parents, subsidiaries, members, affiliates, officers and employees, harmless from any claim, demand, or damage, including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, asserted by any third party due to or arising out of your use of or conduct on MSN. Microsoft will notify you within a reasonable period of time of any claim for which Microsoft seeks indemnification and will afford you the opportunity to participate in the defense of such claim, provided that your participation will not be conducted in a manner prejudicial to Microsoft's interests, as reason- ably determined by Microsoft.

9.Notices; Consent. Notices given by Microsoft to you may be given by e-mail via MSN, by a general posting on MSN, or by conventional mail.

10.No “Spam”; Damages.

Microsoft may immediately terminate any account that it determines, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is otherwise con- nected with any “spam” or other unsolicited bulk e-mail.

Otherwise you agree to pay Microsoft's actual damages, to the extent such actual damages can be reasonably calculated.
