Notwithstanding the foregoing, TheTakes shall have no obligation to resolve any inaccessibility or deviation caused by (a) modification of the Licensed Software by anyone other than TheTakes, (b) use of the Licensed Software for any purpose other than intended, (c) misuse or incorrect use of the Licensed Software or inoperable computers, or (d) malfunction of any Customer computer or any telecommunications services not under the control of TheTakes. With respect to any inaccessibility or deviation which TheTakes is not obligated to correct, Customer shall be invoiced for the cost of the diagnosis in accordance with the applicable TheTakes Service Rates.

5.3 Data Maintenance.

TheTakes reserves the right, as reasonably necessary or convenient for TheTakes' own purposes or to improve the quality of the Licensed Software, to change access procedures, types of equipment utilized in the TheTakes computing environment, system interfaces, operating and other system and network software, utilities, and database software, and to implement Standard Enhancements to the Licensed Software. TheTakes shall strive to give Customer at least twenty-four (24) hours advance notice of the scheduled implementation of any Standard Enhancement, though this may not be done where such notice could negatively affect TheTakes, its users, or the systems, hardware, software, or services of any person.

5.6 Access Interruptions. Customer acknowledges and agrees that in order for TheTakes to perform the maintenance services set forth herein, TheTakes or its hosting provider may be required from time to time to interrupt Customer's ability to access the Licensed Software.

To the extent that TheTakes is not legally bound to collect a tax applicable to the provision of the Licensed Software and accompanying services, you agree that you will remit such taxes to the proper authorities. For example, certain jurisdictions may not apply a sales tax to TheTakes, but may apply a "use tax" to residents of such jurisdictions who use TheTakes' services. In such instances, where TheTakes is not responsible for remitting such taxes, you agree that you will do so.

7.4 Payment Terms and Renewals. All amounts due and payable to TheTakes hereunder shall be remitted by Customer at the time of Customer's Subscription or renewal of Customer's Subscription.

It also applies to us and our successors and assigns.

15.14 Export Controls . Our Licensed Software may not be downloaded, used, or exported to any country which is on the U.S. Export control list or where the U.S. has embargoed goods to that Nation, or where the U.S. Treasury Department has designated such country as a part of its Specially Designated Nationals list.

16. DATA PRIVACY.

16.1 Introduction. TheTakes recognizes that Customer and/or its users may be from many different parts of the world, subject to different jurisdictions in regards to privacy law. This section is designed to ensure that the services provided, and practices engaged in, by TheTakes, are compatible with all applicable law.

16.2 United States Law. Where all users and servers are located in the United States, users agree that privacy laws regarding the United States shall apply. Specifically,certain state laws, such as California Business and Professions Code §§ 22575-22579 may apply to our collection and disclosure of your privacy information.

As stated earlier, no person under the age of 18 may use our LicensedSoftware, therefore although we may in these cases be subject to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, it is unlikely to have any impact on our relations with any Customer.

16.3 European Law. Where TheTakes has a nexus with a European Union member state that subjects us to European law (such as, without conceding such examples actually create a sufficient nexus, a headquarters in a member state, or hosting servers in a member state), we will comply with European privacy legislation. Our application of such law may or may not be specific to the member state(s) having jurisdiction over us. For example, some member states may implement European Union directives in a unique way compared to another member state, and implement such directives through national legislation specific to that member state. In other instances, a member state may not take action to implement a specific directive, but there may nonetheless be European law which applies to privacy rights and can be enforced according to applicable treaties and, if necessary, appealed tothe European Court of Human Rights (see, for example, MGN Ltd v United Kingdom, [2011] ECHR 66. Where a directive must be followed but is not specifically implemented by a member state, TheTakes shall comply according to the directive itself. Where such directive has been implemented by a member state, TheTakes shall comply with the national legislation implementing the directive, notwithstanding the fact that Customer may feel the national legislation departs from the directive.

16.4 Conflict of Laws. Where two or more states, whether European Union member states or otherwise, have jurisdiction over this Agreement, our Licensed Software, or any other matter which causes privacy legislation to apply, the most restrictive provisions shall apply. If it is impossible to comply with conflicting provisions, TheTakes shall make a decision in good faith as to which jurisdiction has the strongest nexus with the services contracted.

16.5 Other Countries. Where any other country has jurisdiction over this Agreement, TheTakes shall comply with their privacy legislation.

16.6 European Notification. In accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament, you are hereby notified that your data is being collected TheTakes.com, Inc. 2780 S. Jones Boulevard, Ste. 3698, Las Vegas, NV 89146, for the purpose of providing the services related to the Licensed Software described in this Agreement. Your data may be stored in the cloud system provided by Amazon Web Services (EC2), EBS Storage, Elastic Load Balancing, and ElastiCache. Note that this notification does not represent any concession on the part of TheTakes that we are subject to any European law. If our services would not otherwise be subject to the jurisdiction of any member state, this notification should be considered as a courtesy only, and not required in any way for compliance with any applicable law.

16.7 European Economic Area. In accordance with Articles 25 and 26 of Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament, any data collected or stored subject to the jurisdiction of a European Economic Area ("EEA") state shall be transferred and stored only in a country with an adequate level of data protection according to European law, or, failing that, to specific third parties in non-EEA states which have such adequate levels of data protection.
