and hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all Losses incurred by
Licensee arising out of or relating to any legal suit, claim, action or proceeding
(each, an “Action”) by a third party (other than an affiliate of Licensee) to the
extent that such Losses arise from any allegation in such Action that Licensee’s
or an Authorized User’s use of the Services (excluding Licensee Data and Third
Party Materials) in compliance with this Agreement infringes a Intellectual
Property Right. The foregoing obligation does not apply to any Action or Losses
arising out of or relating to any:
-
access to or use of the Services or Licensor`s Materials in combination with any
hardware, system, software, network or other materials or service not provided or
authorized in writing by Licensor;
-
modification of the Services or Licensor`s Materials other than: (i) by or on

-
failure to timely implement any modifications, upgrades, replacements or

act, omission or other matter described in Section 13.2(a)-(g), whether or not the
same results in any Action against or Losses by any Licensor Indemnitee.
-
Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Licensor and its Subcontractors and affiliates, and each of its and their
respective officers, directors, employees, agents, Representatives, successors and
assigns (each, a “Licensor Indemnitee”) from and against any and all Losses
incurred by such Licensor Indemnitee in connection with any Action by a third
party that arises out of or relates to any:
-
Licensee Data, including any Processing of Licensee Data by or on behalf of
Licensor in accordance with this Agreement;

any other materials or information (including any documents, data, specifications,
software, content or technology) provided by or on behalf of Licensee or any
Authorized User, including Licensor’s compliance with any specifications or
directions provided by or on behalf of Licensee or any Authorized User, to the
extent prepared without any contribution by Licensor;

investment, security or course of action; offers to invest or to provide financial
analysis or management services; or similar advice, offers or guidance to
Authorized Users, which shall remain the sole responsibility of Licensee;
-
allegation of facts that, if true, would constitute Licensee’s breach of any of
its representations, warranties, covenants or obligations under this Agreement;
-
negligence or more culpable act or omission (including recklessness or willful

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 reasonably acceptable to the
Indemnitee 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
13.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 13
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.
-
Mitigation. If any of the Services or Licensor`s Materials are, or in Licensor’s
opinion are likely to be, claimed to infringe, misappropriate or otherwise violate
any third party Intellectual Property Right, or if Licensee’s or any Authorized
User’s use of the Services or Licensor`s Materials is enjoined or threatened to be
enjoined, Licensor may, at its option:
-
at Licensor’s sole cost and expense, obtain the right for Licensee to continue to
use the Services and Licensor`s Materials materially as contemplated by this
Agreement;
-
at Licensor’s sole cost and expense, modify or replace the Services and Licensor
Materials, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services and Licensor
Materials (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing
substantially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such
modifications or replacements will constitute Services and Licensor`s Materials,
as applicable, under this Agreement; or
-
by written notice to Licensee, terminate this Agreement and require Licensee to
immediately cease any use of and destroy or return all copies of the Services and
Licensor Materials in its possession or under its control.
THIS SECTION 13 SETS FORTH LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AND LICENSOR’S SOLE LIABILITY
