The Parties intend that the Liquidated Damages constitute compensation, and not a penalty.

- 4.4. Upon receipt of cancellation notice, Mindbody shall have sole discretion to resell any sponsorship item(s) or level(s) forfeited. For the sake of clarity, Mindbody is not required to mitigate its losses in such an event, and the Liquidated Damages shall remain payable even where Mindbody is able to resell the sponsorship item(s) or level(s).

- 7.1.1. breach or non-fulfillment of any provision of this Agreement by Sponsor or Sponsor’s personnel;
- 7.1.2. any negligent or willful act or omission of Sponsor or its personnel (including any reckless or willful misconduct) in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement;
- 7.1.3. any bodily injury, death of any person or damage to real or tangible personal property caused by the negligent or willfull acts or omissions of Sponsor or its personnel (including any reckless or willful misconduct); or
- 7.1.4. any failure by Sponsor or its personnel to comply with any applicable federal, state or local laws, regulations or codes in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
- 7.2. Mindbody shall give notice to Sponsor (a “Claim Notice”) within thirty (30) days after obtaining knowledge of any Losses or discovery of facts on which Mindbody intends to base a request for indemnification. Mindbody’s failure to provide a Claim Notice to Sponsor does not relieve Sponsor of any liability that Sponsor may have to Mindbody, but in no event shall Sponsor be liable for any Losses that result directly from a delay in providing a Claim Notice, which delay materially prejudices the defense of the related third-party claim. Sponsor’s duty to defend applies immediately, regardless of whether Mindbody has paid any sums or incurred any detriment arising out of or relating, directly or indirectly, to any third-party claim.
- 7.3. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Mindbody may select its own legal counsel to represent its interests, and Sponsor shall:
- 7.3.1. reimburse Mindbody for its costs and attorneys’ fees immediately upon request as they are incurred;
- 7.3.2. remain responsible to Mindbody for any Losses indemnified under this Agreement; and
- 7.3.3. Sponsor shall give prompt written notice to Mindbody of any proposed settlement of a claim that is indemnifiable under this Agreement. Sponsor may not, without Mindbody’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment regarding which indemnification is being sought hereunder.
8. Disclaimer of Liability
Mindbody specifically disclaims liability for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, even if Mindbody has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event shall Mindbody be liable for any death, injury, loss or damage suffered by any person. Mindbody is not liable for losses from arising acts or omissions of third parties such as hotel companies, transport operators or technical or mechanical service providers. Mindbody’s total liability hereunder for any cause, regardless of the form of action, shall be limited to the Sponsorship Fees paid by Sponsor for the Event.
9. California Civil Code Sec on 1542 Waiver
Sponsor expressly acknowledges and agrees that all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code are expressly waived. That section provides: A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR. Sponsor hereby waives any right which Sponsor has or may have under Section 1542, or any similar statute or regulation of the state in which Sponsor is based or resides, to the full extent that Sponsor may lawfully waive such rights pertaining to this general release of claims.
10. Postponement, Force Majeure

Mindbody may cancel and/or change the date and/or venue of the Event in the event of causes beyond the reasonable control of Mindbody, including but not limited to acts of God, war, fire, flood, terrorism, labor disputes, viral outbreaks, and governmental acts including mandated lockdowns or prohibitions on large gatherings (each a “Force Majeure Event”). Mindbody shall not be liable for any Force Majeure Event and shall have no obligation to refund sums paid by Sponsor in connection with its participation in the Event.
