THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY ARISING FROM A BREACH OF SECTIONS 3.C. 7, 12, 15 OR ANY VIOLATIONS OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

Indemnity

A. Tevora Indemnification Obligation.

Tevora will defend and indemnify Customer, and pay the resulting cost and damages (including attorneys’ fees) finally awarded
against Customer by a court of competent jurisdiction or the amount stated in a written settlement signed by Tevora, to the extent a claim, demand, suit, or proceeding is made or brought against Customer by a third party alleging that a Purchased Product infringes such third party patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets (a “Customer Claim”). Tevora will have no obligation under the foregoing provision to the extent a Customer Claim arises from (i) Customer’s breach of this Agreement, Customer Content, or the combination of the Products or any part thereof with other equipment, software, or products not supplied by Tevora (if such infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such combination) or (ii) Customer’s failure to install an update or upgrade, where same would have avoided such claim. If a final injunction is obtained against Customer’s right to continue using the Purchased Product or, if in Tevora opinion a Purchased Product is likely to become the subject of a claim, then Tevora may, in sole discretion, but at no cost to you: (1) obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Purchased Product; (2) replace or modify the Purchased Product so that it no longer infringes but functions in a materially equivalent manner; or (iii) if Tevora determine that neither of these alternatives is reasonably available, terminate the applicable license of Software or subscription for Cloud Service and refund any prepaid, unused Fees applicable to the infringing Purchased Product. With respect to Third-Party Software solely that is used: (a) in unmodified form; (b) as part of or as required to use a Product; and (c) in accordance with the terms and conditions herein and the applicable license grant, Tevora will indemnify You for infringement to the same extent as Tevora is required to provide infringement indemnification for the Products as stated above.

B. Customer’s Indemnification Obligation.

Customer will defend and indemnify Tevora, and pay the resulting cost and damages (including attorneys’ fees) finally awarded against Tevora by a court of competent jurisdiction or the amount stated in a written settlement signed by Customer, to the extent a claim, demand, suit, or proceeding is made or brought against Tevora by a third party that: (i) alleges that Customer Content infringes or misappropriates such third-party patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets; or (ii) alleges that your Customer Content violates applicable law or regulation.

C. Mutual Indemnity.

Each party will defend and indemnify any action brought against the other party by a third party to the extent that it is based upon a claim for bodily injury (including death) to any person or damage to tangible property resulting from the negligent acts or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party or its personnel hereunder, and will pay any reasonable, direct, out-of-pocket costs, damages, and reasonable attorneys’ fees attributable to such claim that are finally awarded against the indemnified party by a court of competent jurisdiction or the amount stated in a written settlement signed by the indemnifying party.

D. Process for Indemnification.

The indemnification obligations above are subject to the party seeking indemnification: (i) providing the other party with prompt written notice of the specific claim; (ii) giving the indemnifying party sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (except that the indemnifying party may not settle any claim that requires any action or forbearance on the indemnified party’s part without their prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) giving the indemnifying party all reasonable assistance, at such party’s expense.

E.

This section provides the parties’ exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

Modification of Cloud Services and Policies

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, from time to time at its sole discretion, Tevora may make upgrades, changes, and/or improvements to: (i) the Products, including the Cloud Services or (ii) the Policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as is required as a result of changes to applicable laws or regulations, Tevora will not modify any Products or Policies in any way designed to: (a) materially degrade the Products or Policies or (b) add additional material obligations for Customer.

Third-Party Software

Certain Products may contain third-party or Open Source Software. Tevora makes available in the applicable Documentation a list of third-party or Open Source Software incorporated in our Products as required by the respective licenses. Any third-party or Open Source Software that is delivered as part of the Product and which may not be removed or used separately from the Product is covered by the warranty, support, and indemnification provisions applicable to the Product or as specified in this Agreement. Some of the third-party or Open Source Software may have additional terms that apply to the use of the Product (e.g., the obligation for us to provide attribution of the specific licensor), and those terms will be included in the Documentation; however, these terms will not impose any additional restrictions on use of the Product.

Confidentiality

A.     Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information of either party that is not generally known to the public, whether of a technical, business, or other nature, that is disclosed by one party to the other party or that is otherwise learned by the recipient in the course of its activities with the disclosing party, and that has been identified as being proprietary and/or confidential or that the recipient reasonably ought to know should be treated as proprietary and/or confidential under the circumstances of disclosure. Confidential Information of Tevora also includes the terms, conditions, and pricing of this Agreement, and the results of any benchmarking, testing, or competitive evaluations Customer performs on the Products. Each party shall use reasonable care to hold the other party’s Confidential Information in confidence and not disclose such Confidential Information to anyone other than to its personnel, contractors, attorneys, and accountants with a need to know and who are under a duty of confidentiality no less restrictive than the recipient’s duty hereunder. A recipient shall not reproduce or use such information for any purpose other than as reasonably required to perform pursuant to this Agreement or as reasonably necessary for use of the Products as contemplated by this Agreement. Either party may disclose the existence and nature of the relationship between the parties established hereby, provided it does not disclose any of the specific terms of such relationship.

B.     Exceptions.

C.     Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge that any breach of this Section may cause immediate and irreparable injury to the non-breaching party for which monetary damages may be inadequate, and in the event of such breach, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, in addition to all other remedies available to it by law or in equity.

Ownership

A.     Products. As between you and Tevora, Tevora owns and reserves all right, title, and interest in and to the Products and other Tevora materials, including all intellectual property rights therein.

C.     Survival. The termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect any provisions herein which by their nature survive termination or expiration, including the provisions that deal with the following subject matters: definitions, ownership of intellectual property, confidentiality, payment obligations, effect of termination, limitation of liability, privacy, and the “Miscellaneous” section in this Agreement.

C.     Waiver; Severability. The waiver by either party of a breach or a default under this Agreement will not be effective unless in writing. The failure by either party to enforce any provisions of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any subsequent enforcement of that or any other provisions.
