  1. Indemnification.

14.1  Developer Indemnification. Developer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and Customer’s officers, directors, employees, agents, permitted successors, and permitted assigns (each, a “Customer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Customer Indemnitee resulting from any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Customer Indemnitee) to the extent such action is alleging that Customer’s use of the Software (excluding Customer Materials and Third-Party Materials) in compliance with this Agreement infringes a U.S. Intellectual Property Right. The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Action or Losses arising out of or relating to any:

(a)  combination of the Software with any hardware, system, or other software or materials not provided or authorized in writing by Developer;

(b)  modification of the Software other than: (i) by Developer; or (ii) with Developer’s written approval in accordance with Developer’s written specification;

(c)  failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements, or enhancements made available to Customer; or

(d)  act, omission, or other matter described in Section 14.2(a), Section 14.2(b), or Section 14.2(c), whether or not the same results in any Action against or Loss by any Developer Indemnitee.

Additionally, Developer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Customer and its directors, officers, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with: (1) any grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act of Developer or Developer’s directors, employees or agents; (2) any breach by Developer or Developer’s directors, employees or agents of any of the express covenants, warranties, or representations contained in this Agreement; and (3) any failure of Developer to perform the Services in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

14.2  Customer Indemnification. Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Developer and its Subcontractors and Affiliates, and each of its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors, and assigns (each, a “Developer Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Developer Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third party (other than an Affiliate of a Developer Indemnitee) to the extent such Action is arising out of or relating to:

(a)  Customer Materials or Developer’s use thereof in accordance with this Agreement;

(b)  Developer’s compliance with any specifications or directions provided by or on behalf of Customer to the extent prepared without any contribution by Developer; or

(c)  any allegation of facts that, if true, would constitute Customer’s breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Agreement.

Additionally, Customer will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Developer and its directors, officers, agents, successors, and assigns from and against all taxes, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising directly or indirectly from or in connection with: (1) any grossly negligent or intentionally wrongful act of Customer or Customer’s directors, employees or agents; (2) any breach by Customer or Customer’s directors, employees or agents of any of the express covenants, warranties, or representations contained in this Agreement; and (3) any failure of Customer to utilize the Services and Deliverables in accordance with all applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

14.3  Indemnification Procedure. Each party shall promptly notify the other party in writing of any Action for which such party believes it is entitled to be indemnified pursuant to Section 14.1 or Section 14.2, as the case may be. The party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall cooperate with the other party (the “Indemnitor”) at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitor shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel of its choice to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 14.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 14 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

14.4  Mitigation. If the Software, other than Customer Materials, is or in Developer’s opinion is likely to be claimed to infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate any third-party Intellectual Property Right, or if Customer’s use of the Software, other than Customer Materials, is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, Developer may, at its option and sole cost and expense:

(a)  obtain the right for Customer to continue to use the Software materially as contemplated by this Agreement;

(b)  modify or replace the Software, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Software (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing while providing materially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Software under this Agreement; or

(c)  by written notice to Customer, terminate with respect to all or part of the Software the license granted to Customer under this Agreement and require Customer to immediately cease any use of the Software or any specified part or feature thereof, provided that if such termination occurs prior to one year after the Effective Date, subject to Customer’s compliance with its post-termination obligations set forth in Section 12.3, Customer will be entitled to a refund of fees but unearned by Developer.

THIS SECTION 14 SETS FORTH CUSTOMER’S SOLE REMEDIES AND DEVELOPER’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED, OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (INCLUDING THE SOFTWARE) INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES, OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.
