4. Fees.
This EULA is at all times conditioned upon the payment of the fees and any other amounts charged in exchange for access to the SDMLS System.

(a) Injunctive relief. You acknowledge and agree that the compilation of MLS Information contained in the SDMLS System is confidential, proprietary and owned by SDMLS and that if, except as authorized in this EULA, You make an unauthorized disclosure of any part of such MLS Information, no remedy at law will be adequate. You therefore agree in the event of such unauthorized disclosure that SDMLS may obtain injunctive relief or other equitable remedies against You in addition to all available remedies at law. In the event of such injunctive relief or other equitable remedies, to the extent permitted by law, SDMLS shall have no obligation to post a security or other bond or undertaking.

(c) Liquidated damages. You acknowledge that damages suffered by SDMLS from access to the MLS Information by an unauthorized third party using Your ID and password or Your unauthorized disclosure of any MLS Information to a third party would be speculative and difficult to quantify. Accordingly, and as a material inducement to SDMLS to enter into this EULA, You agree that if any disclosure of Your ID and password results in access to the MLS Information by an unauthorized third party or if you make disclosure of MLS Information to an unauthorized third party, regardless of whether such access or disclosure is intentional, negligent or inadvertent, You shall be liable to SDMLS for liquidated damages in the amount of the greater of $5,000 or the amount established in the SDMLS Rules for each real estate listing accessed or disclosed; and in any such case, this EULA may be terminated.
