Services may be temporarily unavailable for scheduled maintenance or for unscheduled emergency maintenance, either by Company or by third-party providers, or because of other causes beyond Company’s reasonable control, but Company shall use reasonable efforts to provide advance notice in writing or by e-mail of any scheduled service disruption.

Customer’s counsel will have the right to participate in the defense of the Infringement Claim, at Customer’s own expense. Customer will not, without the prior written consent of Company, make any admission or prejudicial statement, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim.

In the event that Company’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in Company’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, Company may, in its sole discretion, obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing, or, if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Agreement without liability to Customer.

The foregoing obligations do not apply with respect to portions or components of the Service (i) not supplied by Company, (ii) that are modified after delivery by Company, (iii) combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such combination, except in the event Company has recommended or otherwise encouraged such combination, (iv) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement, or (v) where Customer’s use of the Service is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Customer hereby agrees to at its expense: (i) defend, or at its option settle, any claim brought against Company by an unaffiliated third party alleging that Customer Data during the applicable Term, infringed such party’s patent registered as of the Effective Date, or any copyright or trademark of such party, or made unlawful use of such party’s trade secret (each, an “Infringement Claim”) and (ii) indemnify Company against and pay (1) any settlement of such Infringement Claim consented to by Customer or (2) any damages finally awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction to such third party as relief or remedy in such Infringement Claim.
