Figurenet expressly disclaims any responsibility to assure the creditworthiness or business reputation of any Member.

28. Equitable Relief.

In the event that the Member violates or breaches any of the Terms and Conditions of the Figurenet System or the Membership Agreement, the Member acknowledges that such actions will cause irreparable injury to Figurenet and the Figurenet System, for which they will have inadequate remedies at law and, therefore, Figurenet and the Figurenet System shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief in addition to all other remedies.

29. Force Majeure.

Except for the Member's obligation to make payment hereunder, if applicable, neither party shall be in default if its delay or failure to perform any obligation hereunder is caused solely by supervening conditions beyond that party's reasonable control, including acts of God, civil commotion, strikes, labor disputes and governmental demands or requirements; provided that, to be excused from any such delay or failure to perform, such party must act diligently to remedy the cause of such delay or failure.

30. Taxes.

Member shall pay all personal property taxes, ad valorem taxes, sales taxes, uses taxes and other Taxes that are now or that may hereafter be imposed with respect to the Figurenet System, the Databases and/or the Data, whether such taxes shall be payable by or billed or assessed to Figurenet or to a Member, together with any penalties and interest.
