9. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY

 

9.1 Except as otherwise set forth herein, Evolved Identity agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Customer from and against any valid demands, damages, or liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from a valid third-party claim brought against Customer during the term of this Agreement that substantiates that the Support Services or the Licensed Software knowingly or intentionally and directly infringes any valid United States copyright, patent, trade secret, or any other proprietary right of a third party, and shall pay any final, non-appealable judgments awarded or settlements resulting therefrom.

 

9.2 As a condition precedent to Evolved Identity’s obligations under Section 9.1, Customer must, at Customer’s cost and expense, give written notice to Evolved Identity within five (5) days of Customer’s actual, constructive or imputed knowledge of any claim, action or allegation of infringement, give Evolved Identity the authority to defend and to settle the claim, and refrain from settling or taking any action to compromise Evolved Identity’s defense of a claim without the prior written authorization of Evolved Identity. Customer, at Customer’s cost and expense, must also cooperate with Evolved Identity in the defense of any claim and will furnish such records, information and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials and appeals as may be reasonably requested in connection therewith.

 

9.3 Evolved Identity may assume the defense of a claim by giving written notice to Customer. Upon written assumption of the defense of a claim, Evolved Identity will have the right to contest, pay, settle or compromise the claim as Evolved Identity determines.

 

9.4 In the event any claim, action or allegation is brought or threatened involving the Support Services or the Licensed Software, Evolved Identity may, at its sole option and expense (a) procure for Customer the right to continue use of the Support Services and Licensed Software; (b) modify, amend or replace the Support Services and Licensed Software or infringing part thereof with other software having substantially the same or better capabilities; or, (c) if neither of the foregoing is acceptable or practicable in Evolved Identity’s sole and absolute discretion, terminate each of Customer’s Subscriptions and refund to Customer of any Fees prepaid by Customer to Evolved Identity for the remaining, unused portion of each Subscription.

 

9.5 Notwithstanding the foregoing Sections 9.1-9.4, Evolved Identity will have no liability for any third-party claim, demand, or liability of any kind to the extent that it results from (a) modifications to the Support Services or Licensed Software made by a Party other than Evolved Identity; (b) the use of the Support Services and Licensed Software in combination with equipment, network, devices, data or software provided by Customer; (c) Evolved Identity’s compliance with specifications or requirements of Customer; or (d) Customer’s use of the Support Services and Licensed Software other than in accordance with this Agreement or Customer’s actions which compromise, waive or affect, in any way, Evolved Identity’s ability to defend claims or Evolved Identity’s liability therefrom. The indemnification obligations set forth in this Section 9 are Evolved Identity’s sole and exclusive obligations, and Customer’s sole and exclusive remedies with respect to infringement, unauthorized use, violation, or misappropriation of third party intellectual property rights of any kind.

 

 

10.  TERM AND TERMINATION.

 

10.1 If either Party defaults in the performance of any of its obligations contained in this Agreement, the non-defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement upon ten (10) days written notice without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that it may have. This Agreement will not terminate if the default is cured during such notice period.

 

10.2   Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time if any proceeding is commenced, any action taken, an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the dissolution, winding up, or bankruptcy of the other Party or, where relevant, for the appointment of a liquidator, liquidation committee, receiver, administrator, trustee or similar officer of the other Party of all or a substantial part of its business or its assets.
